Who controls what happens on earth? God either rules or is ruled. If His will is subject to, or can be thwarted by, Satan or man then He is not God. The doctrine of the sovereignty of God has never been popular since the Fall. But to challenge it is to challenge the Godhood of God. This is Part 1 in a 2-part series.

The seven signs of Jesus recorded in John's gospel each reveal some aspect of our salvation. In this session we look at the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda.

Faith receives that which grace supplies. And faith in Christ always honours God.

When we share the good news of the gospel with others we never know if we are sowing, watering or reaping, so Jesus taught us to always be ready for harvest.

Jesus never called the woman at the well 'a sinner'. She already knew that. He called her 'thirsty' and offered her living water.

John and Jesus's disciples were baptizing at the same time. Was their baptism the same?

It seems strange to say that a serpent on a pole would represent Jesus, until you understand why.

Our entrance into this life was by means of our birth. Similarly, to enter the Kingdom of God necessitates a new birth, a birth from above.

Jesus cleansed the House of God because it had been turned into a 'den of thieves'. Would He do the same today with His house, the Church? (This message was re-recorded in Ken's home because of technical issues with the first recording).

This first miracle of Jesus is a sign that He had come to replace empty, lifeless religion with the joy and abundance of the new life we find in Him.

Much of ministry today results in co-dependency, i.e. connecting people to us, our church and our ministry. True ministry is connecting people to Jesus, resulting in Christ-dependency.

God has called us to be a voice...not an echo.

The law was sent, but grace came. This session is an exposition of John 1:11 -18.

We will never appreciate the greatness of our salvation until we see something of the glory of the Son of God. John wrote his account of the gospel for a specific purpose - that we might believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that believing in Him we might have eternal life.

How do you respond to negative, destructive criticism? Do you get hurt? Angry? Depressed? God has a better way.
